Acts 28
1 Our lives having been thus preserved, we discovered that the island was called Malta.
In ko so bili rešeni, so potem izvedeli, da se otok imenuje Malta.
2 The strange-speaking natives showed us remarkable kindness, for they lighted a fire and made us all welcome because of the pelting rain and the cold.
In barbarsko ljudstvo nam je pokazalo ne malo prijaznosti, kajti prižgali so ogenj in nas zaradi navzočega dežja in zaradi mraza, vse sprejeli.
3 Now, when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and had thrown them on the fire, a viper, driven by the heat, came out and fastened itself on his hand.
In ko je Pavel nabral sveženj vej in jih položil na ogenj, je zaradi vročine ven prišel gad in se oprijel njegove roke.
4 When the natives saw the creature hanging to his hand, they said to one another, "Beyond doubt this man is a murderer, for, though saved from the sea, unerring Justice does not permit him to live."
In ko so barbari videli strupeno žival viseti na njegovi roki, so med seboj govorili: »Brez dvoma je ta človek morilec, čeprav je ušel morju, ki mu maščevanje vendar ne pusti živeti.«
5 He, however, shook the reptile off into the fire and was unhurt.
On pa je žival otresel v ogenj in ni čutil nobene škode.
6 They expected him soon to swell with inflammation or suddenly fall down dead; but, after waiting a long time and seeing no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god.
Vendar so gledali, ko naj bi imel oteklino ali nenadoma padel mrtev. Toda potem, ko so dolgo časa gledali in so videli, da se mu ni zgodilo nič hudega, so spremenili svoja mišljenja in rekli, da je bil bog.
7 Now in the same part of the island there were estates belonging to the Governor, whose name was Publius. He welcomed us to his house, and for three days generously made us his guests.
V istih četrtih so bile posesti vodilnega moža otoka, katerega ime je bilo Publij, ki nas je sprejel in nas tri dni prijazno prenočeval.
8 It happened, however, that his father was lying ill of dysentery aggravated by attacks of fever; so Paul went to see him, and, after praying, laid his hands on him and cured him.
Pripetilo pa se je, da je Publijev oče ležal bolan zaradi vročice in zaradi krvave griže; h kateremu je vstopil Pavel in molil ter položil svoji roki nanj in ga ozdravil.
9 After this, all the other sick people in the island came and were cured.
Torej ko se je to zgodilo, so prišli tudi drugi, ki so na otoku imeli bolezni in so bili ozdravljeni,
10 They also loaded us with honours, and when at last we sailed they put supplies on board for us.
ki so nas prav tako počastili z mnogimi častmi. In ko smo odšli, so nas obložili s takšnimi stvarmi, kot je bilo potrebno.
11 Three months passed before we set sail in an Alexandrian vessel, called the 'Twin Brothers,' which had wintered at the island.
In po treh mesecih smo se vkrcali na ladjo iz Aleksandrije, ki je prezimila na otoku, katere znamenje sta bila Kastor in Poluks.
12 At Syracuse we put in and stayed for two days.
In ko smo se izkrcali v Sirakuzi, smo se tam mudili tri dni.
13 From there we came round and reached Rhegium; and a day later, a south wind sprang up which brought us by the evening of the next day to Puteoli.
In od tam smo šli po ovinkih ter prišli v Région. In po enem dnevu je zapihal južni veter in naslednji dan smo prišli v Putéole,
14 Here we found brethren, who invited us to remain with them for a week; and so we reached Rome.
kjer smo našli brate in želeli so, da ostanemo z njimi sedem dni; in tako smo odšli proti Rimu.
15 Meanwhile the brethren there, hearing of our movements, came as far as the Market of Appius and the Three Huts to meet us; and when Paul saw them he thanked God and felt encouraged.
In ko so bratje slišali o nas, so prišli od tam, da nas srečajo, prav do Apijevega trga in Treh Tavern. Ko jih je Pavel zagledal, se je zahvalil Bogu in se opogumil.
16 Upon our arrival in Rome, Paul received permission to live by himself, guarded by a soldier.
In ko smo prišli v Rim, je stotnik jetnike izročil poveljniku straže, toda Pavlu je bilo dovoljeno, da prebiva sam zase z vojakom, ki ga je varoval.
17 After one complete day he invited the leading men among the Jews to meet him; and, when they were come together, he said to them, "As for me, brethren, although I had done nothing prejudicial to our people or contrary to the customs of our forefathers, I was handed over as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the power of the Romans.
In pripetilo se je, da je po treh dneh Pavel sklical skupaj judovske voditelje in ko so prišli skupaj, jim je rekel: »Možje in bratje, čeprav nisem ničesar zagrešil proti ljudem ali običajem naših očetov, sem bil vendarle jetnik, iz Jeruzalema izročen v roke Rimljanom.
18 They, after they had sharply questioned me, were willing to set me at liberty, because they found no offence in me for which I deserve to die.
Ki so me po zaslišanju hoteli izpustiti, ker na meni ni bilo razloga za smrt.
19 But, at last, the opposition of the Jews compelled me to appeal to Caesar; not however that I had any charge to bring against my nation.
Toda ko so Judje temu ugovarjali, sem se bil primoran sklicevati na cesarja, ne da bi moral obtoževati svoj narod.
20 For these reasons, then, I have invited you here, that I might see you and speak to you; for it is for the sake of Him who is the hope of Israel that this chain hangs upon me."
Zaradi tega razloga sem vas torej dal poklicati, da vas vidim in spregovorim z vami, zato ker sem s to verigo zvezan zaradi Izraelovega upanja.«
21 "For our part," they replied, "we have not received any letters from Judaea about you, nor have any of our countrymen come here and reported or stated anything to your disadvantage.
In rekli so mu: »Glede tebe nismo prejeli niti pisem iz Judeje niti nobeden izmed bratov, ki je prišel, [te] ni naznanil ali škodljivo govoril o tebi.
22 But we should be glad to hear from you what it is that you believe; for as for this sect all we know is that it is everywhere spoken against."
Toda od tebe želimo slišati, kaj misliš; kajti glede te ločine vemo, da ji povsod ugovarjajo.«
23 So they arranged a day with him and came to him in considerable numbers at the house of the friends who were entertaining him. And then, with solemn earnestness, he explained to them the subject of the Kingdom of God, endeavouring from morning till evening to convince them about Jesus, both from the Law of Moses and from the Prophets.
In ko so mu določili dan, so mnogi prišli k njemu v njegovo stanovanje; katerim je od jutra do večera pojasnjeval in dokazoval Božje kraljestvo, jih prepričeval glede Jezusa, tako iz Mojzesove postave kakor iz prerokov.
24 Some were convinced; others refused to believe.
In nekateri so verjeli besedam, ki so bile govorjene, nekateri pa niso verjeli.
25 Unable to agree among themselves, they at last left him, but not before Paul had spoken a parting word to them, saying, "Right well did the Holy Spirit say to your forefathers through the Prophet Isaiah:
In ko se med seboj niso strinjali, so odšli, po tem, ko je Pavel spregovoril eno besedo: »Dobro je Sveti Duh govoril našim očetom po preroku Izaiju,
26 "'Go to this people and tell them, you will hear and hear, and by no means understand; and will look and look, and by no means see.
rekoč: ›Pojdi k tem ljudem in reci: ›S poslušanjem boste slišali, pa ne boste razumeli; in z gledanjem boste videli, pa ne zaznali;
27 For this people's mind has grown callous, their hearing has become dull, and their eyes they have closed; to prevent their ever seeing with their eyes, or hearing with their ears, or understanding with their minds, and turning back, so that I might cure them.'
kajti srce teh ljudi je otopelo in njihova ušesa so naglušna in svoje oči so zaprli, da ne bi videli s svojimi očmi in [da ne bi] slišali s svojimi ušesi in [da ne bi] razumeli s svojim srcem in [da ne bi] bili spreobrnjeni in [bi] jih jaz ozdravil.‹‹
28 "Be fully assured, therefore, that this salvation--God's salvation--has now been sent to the Gentiles, and that they, at any rate, will give heed."
Bodi vam torej znano, da je Božja rešitev duš poslana k poganom in da jo bodo poslušali.«
In ko je rekel te besede, so Judje odšli in med seboj imeli veliko razpravljanja.
30 After this Paul lived for fully two years in a hired house of his own, receiving all who came to see him.
In Pavel je celi dve leti prebival v lastni najeti hiši in sprejemal vse, ki so prihajali k njemu
31 He announced the coming of the Kingdom of God, and taught concerning the Lord Jesus Christ without let or hindrance.
ter z vso samozavestjo oznanjal Božje kraljestvo in učil te stvari, ki se tičejo Gospoda Jezusa Kristusa in noben človek mu ni branil.
